Memorial Day!

After adjusting our Memorial Day trip last year, we headed back to St George Island for our annual trip with friends!

I don't think we could have fit anything else in the car!

We had pool time everyday!  It was a nice afternoon break after the beach!

The six of us kids managed to keep ourselves busy inside playing real and made up games!

Of course, we made sure to make time for our devices!

The girls stuck together - especially at breakfast!

Mom took us to visit the island's lighthouse and we climbed to the top!

This trip, the grown ups rented a golf cart which was so helpful to get all the gear to the beach!  The kids tried to make a get away by ourselves, but didn't get far...

But then we did get to ride in the golf to go get some ice cream!

Ice cream on an (almost) summer day is the best!

The girls styled their hair but I was more interested in playing ping pong!

This year at the beach, I had lots of fun being buried in the sand!

And then we totally buried Elle!

There's the girls again - just relaxing!

Jumping in ocean waves never gets old!

We also had fun playing with a beach soccer ball!

I practiced my boogie boarding skills!

Clara did her favorite beach activity - digging in the sand and building sand castles!

Our beach trip wouldn't be complete without a photo session on the beach!  All the kids...oldest to youngest!

Here's the whole group!  This was our 7th beach trip together (minus the year the tropical storm cut it way short and last year's covid cancellation)!  The first trip together was just a few months after Clara was born!

It's always fun to take family pictures too!  Clara and I do like each other lots of the time!
